301·1 year agoLong COVID and the moral injury of passively harming others both suck shit. A well fitted respirator mask like an N95 can save a lot of hurt, and every broken chain of transmission is still valuable.
That sucks, hope ya feel better soon and stay well. If you want info on tracking surges, or want to read about treatment and such, I just posted a reply to this same parent comment with some links that might help.

Thus, a world where we don’t protect each other is like an ouroboros of peeing Calvin stickers.
A well-sealed respirator mask like an N95 filters inhalation and exhalation extremely well.

Johnson & Johnson’s non-mRNA one had some severe side effect incidents that got it pulled, and showed lower vaccine efficacy versus Pfizer and Moderna in trials before then. AstraZeneca’s vaccine was a somewhat similar story.
A lot of vaccines off older tech had no such issues. Notably, Novavax delivered a well tolerated high efficacy shot with more limited post-shot hangovers. Some research indicated that this was particularly true for folks with autoimmune conditions, some cancers, or MECFS.
Could I ask if you’ve you tried any other respirator masks than those KN95s? It kinda sounds as though you don’t love their fit or durability or the experience of wearing them. There’s a lot of variety to fit folks’ faces better and more comfortably, especially if you can get down with head straps instead of ear loops. This accessory exists to let you use a straw while masked, too: https://sipmask.com/
It would be a shame to lose vacationing days or have an unexpected health scare if you’re already putting some masking effort in, y’know?

Is there a porn genre where someone reads you an academic queer theory tome? I think a lot of Senators could benefit from sapiosexual gooning, and C-SPAN could broadcast some thrilling filibusters
might as well plug in that USB stick you found in the parking lot and see what happens ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
If ya like learning cool lefty shit and care about the political economy of health, the Death Panel podcast is a nicely chilled refresher in a world thats’s served well done with ketchup.
The service of that myth is part of why German support for Israel is so over the top, yes. Actual treatment of Holocaust survivors in Israel could be really shitty, with high rates of poverty and mistreatment by Zionist settlers. A Hebrew slur against diaspora Jews of the time, “sabonim”, was slang for “coward” and stemmed from the use of Holocaust victims’ body fat to make soap.
However, following the money gets to the real heart of the issue. West Germany retained an enormous amount of money and property that Nazi Germany had stolen from Holocaust victims. Monetary support for Israel and encouraging immigration let the state dodge liability for reparations to individuals.

Thanks for sharing this with us. If my friend was in similar circumstances, I would tell them to read this de-paywalled 404 Media article with a doctor and lawyer next to them, to do what the doctor and lawyer say and comply with all laws and best practices and sensible precautions, and that it wasn’t medical or legal advice and neither is this Lemmy post.
Also, corsetry kicks ass and your work is gorgeous. My SO found creators like Abby Cox, Bernadette Banner, and Nicole Rudolph during 2020 and it’s been an absolutely mesmerizing rabbit hole to fall into even for a cishet fella well outside the key demographics. Although, unisex medical compression support garments are more relevant to me lately; is that an angle that drew you to them with EDS and everything?
I’m glad there’s a gamepad in that picture too. What you’ve shared speaks to a life lived very well in spite of health and circumstance.
Oh, great, ICE is just quoting Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now.
